President Mahmoud Abbas arrived today in the Egyptian coastal city of El-Alamein for an official visit in which he is scheduled to meeting with his Egyptian counterpart Abdel Fattah El-Sisi. The President is also expected to chair the meeting of the secretaries-general of the Palestinian factions, to be held in Egypt starting on Sunday. Palestine’s Ambassador to Egypt, Diab Al-Louh, said the President’s visit comes within the framework of the ongoing cooperation with President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, and aims to discuss bilateral relations between the two countries and various issues at the Arab, regional and international levels. He added that a summit meeting will bring President Abbas together with his Egyptian counterpart to discuss the challenges facing the efforts of the Palestinian people to obtain their inalienable rights, achieve the right to self-determination and establish their independent state with full national sovereignty on all the lands of the State of Palestine, occupied since 1967, with Jerusalem as its capital.
